If You Haven’t Heard – Donovan Woods
This one is going to be a keeper folks, the fourth installment of If You Haven’t Heard – “Donovan Woods”. Oh, did I mention we also have an unreleased new song as well?? Well, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. I have been listening to Donovan Woods for a little while, and in that short…

Joanne Robertson – The Lighter (2008)
The new album from Joanne Robertson currently out on Textile Records is currently my favourite lo-fi female singer songwriter spinning my iTunes. This album is bleak, stark, ominous and incredibly good, I mean I am not going to cover something I don’t like…I don’t think. I am starting to digress as I can’t think of…

Why isn’t this guy famous? (Pt II) – Brown Bird
Sorry for not posting yesterday, it should wet your appetite for a great post…well people, it looks to have all worked out then….everyone, I give you; Brown Bird (or David Lamb) has been around officially for the last 5 years (maybe a bit more actually…), but is finally getting his credit where it has been…

What’s new in the neighbourhood?
So what is going on around the Slowcoustic HQ? Same ol’ out here I guess. Things that made me happy this week include, but are not exclusive to: Hearing about Bon Iver’s reworking of 4 tracks from his album for MySpace Transmissions. Yes, the album is getting a bit long in the tooth for the…

Liz Durrett – Outside Our Gates (2008)
New releases from many bands and artists hit the proverbial shelves today, September 9th, 2008 (why are Tuesdays big album release dates anyway…) and outside some of the expected hits, I have found a great little gem that I didn’t expect – Liz Durrett’s “Outside Our Gates“! While I have not been on the Liz…

New Elephant Micah – Why isn’t this guy famous?
So the name doesn’t roll of the tongue (or maybe it does), but Elephant Micah has been around for a few years supplying masterful CDRs full of down tempo fuzz-folk. So I am making up genres now, but if you have heard Joe O’Connell’s recording you know what I mean. Elephant Micah has 9 albums…

Just couldn’t resist – Horse Feathers
Regardless of saying I was not going to post these next few days, I had to share a track from Horse Feathers. I have chosen this track as it might just be the best track on the new album, but you won’t realize until you listen to it many times. Not traditional HF, but it…

Horse Feathers or Chad VanGaalen — September’s most anticipated release?
So I am anxiously awaiting two releases this September and by the blog post title you already know who they are. I mean there are other important releases coming (also awaiting this), but I think Horse Feathers and Chad VanGaalen are able to make my hands shake while clicking for an online purchase. September 9th…

Woodpigeon’s New Album is out! Summer it is my friends, summer it is.
So I thought I would post on some great summer sounds that I just picked up from a band that I ironically enough, don’t know enough about. The band is Woodpigeon who just so happen to be from the very city I currently live in! I KNOW. I had heard of them prior to listening…

Olympic sized post (not really, it is actually quite average sized)
So we all know what is happening at the moment – OLYMPICS! 08/08/08 This is always an exciting time as I am a big fan of worldwide competition (enjoyed a spirited game of “Risk” here and there in my day) and what better competition is there than the Olympics? Okay some of you may not…
